No, I don't live in the neighborhood anymore. I ended up taking it to the dealer that I bought it from, who knows a guy who knows a guy, etc. (Totally reputable, seriously.) The dealer did the original paint job, so I figured he was the best guy to take it to, who knew what the specs were, etc.
That paint is a bitch.. If not painted together, it may show as a repaint/touchup. You can't just blend that paint as you would a regular paint, there is a difference in flop with the pearl and flake. That means it would look like 2 different colors where you tried to blend them.
$$$wise... way back when I painted cars, which is when this paint came out, the gold pearl needed to make that color change effect happen cost $200 a pint. But it is just a mixer to go with the rest of the color, so it is very expensive.
I wanted that 17k Joe!
I guess karma does work in mysterious ways. 3M must have wished it upon me.

I guarantee your are paying for a "Dealer" paint job - I never understood why the hell dealers can upcharge EVERYTHING they have at their shop.
I feel a rant coming on - probably will have a steaming mad post in the "What Irritates You?" thread soon...
